Foreign language features, revivals and restorations will dominate Bell Lightbox’s first film offerings out of the gates this fall, organizers revealed Monday.

The fall calendar will kick off with Thai director Apichatpong Weerasethakul’s Palme d’Or winner Uncle Boonmee Who Can Recall His Past Lives, Canadian filmmaker Xavier Dolan’s Les Amours imaginaires and Yael Hersonski’s Hot Docs award winner A Film Unfinished.

Also in the Bell Lightbox pipeline is Rob Epstein and Jeffrey Friedman’s Howl, Bruce McDonald’s Trigger, which will open the festival headquarters on September 12, and Olivier Assayas’s historical epic, Carlos.

Restored prints bound for Bell Lightbox include Jean-Luc Godard’s Breathless on the film’s 50th anniversary, Francis Ford Coppola’s The Godfather, Wong Kar-wai’s Chungking Express and Fritz Lang’s Metropolis.

And David Cronenberg will personally introduce Videodrome to a Bell Lightbox audience this fall.

Bell Lightbox’s first season will kick off September 23, a Thursday night, not a Friday as is traditional at the local multiplex.

The Festival hopes that launching new pics a day earlier will give me better profile with potential cinema-goers, and a guaranteed run of at least one week will help build an audience.

Other guests at Bell Lightbox besides Cronenberg include TIFF favorites Michael Snow, actress Isabella Rossellini, Dexter creator Jeff Lindsay, director John Waters and film critic Molly Haskell.

And industry veterans bound for Toronto include film editor and sound designer Walter Murch and director Peter Bogdanovich.
